Life isn't simple. But the beauty of it is, you can always start over. It'll get easier. --Alacia Bessette, Simply from Scratch, 2010

So much went unblogged last month. I picked out my very first Christmas tree. From the wild. Jake even cut it down with a chainsaw! It was really exciting for me, not so much for him or our friends (who were all highly amused that this was completely unheard of where I'm from). We decorated the tree together and Jake even helped me put out Hannukah decorations. Mom sent us enough present for all 8 days of Hannukah and Sassy even got a present or two. We celebrated Christmas with Jake's family, which was really nice and laid back.

Jason and I had a date to Seattle. It was the most time I've ever spent with Jake's brother. It was actually a lot of fun and we got along the whole time. I think Jake was a little jealous because he had to work.

Work has been going fairly well. I think I'm fitting in a little more every day. Some days are busier than others. Jake is in the process of looking for a change. Anything is better than where he is at now. Hoping for the best.

Now it is the new year and with that comes resolutions. I decided on two: I'll take a picture every day so help me see the little things in life and I'm going to use one of my cookbooks at least once a week. I have so many and never use them.

Here's to hoping this year is better than the last year (although the good outweighed the bad in the grand scheme of things).
